Of course, as is the case with these updates, timing and availability of the Android KitKat update will depend on your market and network provider.

“We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat/sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here and there,” explained Sony in a blog post.

As well as the standard Android 4.4 KitKat features, Sony has made its Status Bar and Quick Settings more intuitive and customisable making it possible to streamline the notifications that bombard your device.

The launch animation and live wallpaper have also been updated to match the Sony Xperia Z2 and its PS4 influenced UI.
